Our Story
Driven by Passion. Built on Legacy.
At B5 Automotive Advisors, we understand that selling your dealership isn’t just a transaction, it’s a life transition.
I’m a first-generation immigrant, and my story begins in Lansing, Michigan, where my parents built their lives working at the Fisher Body and Oldsmobile plants. They believed deeply in the American Dream, and for our family, that dream was made possible by the automotive industry. From a young age, I saw how this business could create opportunity, shape communities, and change lives.
I didn’t stumble into automotive, I sought it out. For more than 35 years with General Motors, my work centered on the dealer network across every GM brand, from national strategy to regional operations and field-level relationships. I’ve seen this industry through growth, recession, and transformation, and one truth has never changed: dealers are the backbone of this business. This industry gave my family everything, and it’s been my mission to give back to the people who make it thrive.
My husband’s journey is rooted in that same passion, but from a different path. His grandfather owned a dealership, and he’s been under the hood of a car since he was ten. He spent 25 years at General Motors working directly with dealers in sales, service, and network performance roles, helping them grow their businesses and strengthen their operations. Over the past 10 years, he’s taken that deep understanding into the worlds of private equity and mergers and acquisitions, bringing a unique perspective that bridges operational know-how with financial and strategic insight.
Together, we founded B5 Automotive Advisors to help dealers navigate one of the most important chapters of their careers: selling or passing on their dealership.
We understand what it means to let go of something you’ve built with your own hands. A dealership isn’t just an asset, it’s a legacy. Our mission is to help you protect that legacy, preserve your culture, and ensure your people and values continue long after the deal closes.
For us, this isn’t just business. It’s family. It’s our life’s work and it’s the legacy we’re proud to share with our children as they learn the business and continue the story.
